Carinne and Adam: Both Asher and your family are in my prayers and have been for some time now. Asher is a lucky little guy to have you as his parents.

I am wishing you all the very best today and in the future.

Hi! Welcome to the James Family's blog. We are a family of six; Daddy Adam, Mommy Carinne, Big Sister Taylor(8), Big Brother Jonathan (5), Asher (2), and Baby Jacob (16 months). This blog chronicles our day to day craziness, and our journey with little Asher. Asher was born April 29th, 2010 with a complex congenital heart disease called Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and MAPCA's. This means he has 2 holes in his heart, his pulmonary artery is not connected to his heart and is very narrow, and he has extra abnormal arteries supplying blood flow to his lungs. At 4 weeks old he underwent his first open heart surgery for a central shunt. September 27th 2010 he had his second open heart surgery, a complete unifocalization which was done in Stanford, California (a 12 hour procedure). September 26th, 2011, Asher had his 3rd open heart surgery, to replace the homograft pulmonary valve and conduit placed in Stanford with a porcine valve and conduit.
